Heraldry
From the site of Ukrainian
Heraldry:
"Per pale by vert and gules. Axes in saltire or; between
them are four cones of hop argent. The board is framed by a
wreath from branches of an oak vert, wheaten cones or and three
clusters of the viburnum gules, intertwined by the blue-yellow
tape, and crowned by territorial crown or.
Vert personifies natural resources, gules underlines a region
accessory to the Kyiv and Volyn' (in ancient times) which arms
had a gules field.
According to the legends, the word "Berdychiv" is
connected with the weapon. Wide long axe ("berdysh")
has an edge in the form of a half moon on a long stick. Two such
axes in a board display history of settling and defence against
aggressors, and also specify the regional centre in which arms is
axe. Hop cones personify diligence of inhabitants.
"The symbols of Zhytomyrs'ka oblast' councils".
Zhytomyr, 2008."
